Ford Model 40 Deluxe Station Wagon
The final year of the Model B was 1934, but cars of this era quickly became known simply as V-8 Fords. A relatively light body powered by a strong V-8 engine made this car faster than most cars. The 1934 Ford used one chassis, engine and drivetrain for all its cars. Still, it had 10 models from which to choose and quite a few options. Differences between the vehicles related more to style. Ford offered a coupe with three or five windows. The Sedan version included the Tudor and Fordor, which were the most produced.
Much like a minimalist painting, saddle leather is put to use, and accoutrements are kept to a scant few, but all present in elegant fashion. Door panels are beautifully crafted, making use of some stitching to create the design in a field for chromed actuators.
